jmitro - As Steve mentioned, most people have oversteer when going square. The camber difference front/rear should reduce understeer as you are increasing front grip vs the rear.

Exactly. -3 to -3.5 rear camber is common running square. Also it is common to disconnect or run a smaller (stock) rear bar when using a GT3 front bar.

Play around and see what you like.

Similar to running an E36 with no rear bar and a square setup.

This seems backwards to me. A stiff front sway bar should increase understeer, removing the rear bar will make this even worse. I run a square setup and have have a GT3 front bar. I couldn’t dial out the understeer until I installed an adjustable rear bar.

I believe that he installed 'both' the front and rear sway bars and the rear H&R's are adjustable :-)
